...gooders take a long look at the dead men's mounts. They hate killing horses, but you don't leave that kind of evidence roaming around. "They're harmless," says one. "Nothing's harmless in this desert unless it's dead," snaps a pardner. Though the horses are spared, everything else that moves is soon either dying, wounded or dodging...
...play was written, certainly, with good intentions. Centering around three cowboy desperadoes crossing the Western plains, it seeks to bitterly expose the great American romance for what it was. Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, and Wild Bill Hickock sit on a raised platform (that's heaven, pardner) and from time to time offer "commercials" on "The Sixgun That Won The West," "The Indians of the Americas--A Veritable Tower of Babel," and such.

After the way Carlisle and cronies walloped No. 2-ranked Navy in last week's Cotton Bowl, Lord help the loudmouth...
...multimillionaire (real estate, timber, livestock), with an imposing mane of grey hair thatching an elephantine hulk (250 lbs.), Boykin's political stock in trade was a boisterous greeting: "Hello there, Pardner! By God, everything's made for love!" Funny thing was, Boykin really meant it. "God is love, see?" he explained. "He made everything, didn't he? So everything is made for love, get it?" He took genuine pleasure in doing favors for friends. He established a 100,000-acre game preserve in Choctaw County, to which he brought planeloads of folks from Washington and all points...
